Billet 6061 Carrier bearing fixture for equal length drive shaft

[CSXT802]

Everyone has talked about the NS1 carrier bearing for the factory equal length set up. The one on my CSX-T is failing. While I do have a good spare shaft with bearing. I wanted to make something better,that would help the people in the community who want to save their equal length setup. After months of waiting. I got the call from the machine shop telling me my fixtures were ready. I wanted a fixture that can be removed for easy bearing replacement. My machine shop needs a minium order of 40 units for them to tool up and make more. So if the intrest is there I'll try to get a group together. If not I guess this project dies here. I don't mean to sound cold but I have laid out alot of my own money. On the chance there will be enough intrest to recoup it. On that note here are some pics.

What is the price if you get 40 units?

Beautiful piece Darren. I'l be in for at least 1 probably 2 or 3 so I can make everything equal length. I wonder if it will fit thet tc's equal length set up, I don't see why not.

I would honestly say though, your not going to get 40, I'd guess maybe 10, 15 at the most.

That is really neat. Something like that may be worth it to some of use who run unequal length setups just for the fact that we wouldn't need two axles in the trunk any longer.

Well If I can get close the 40 I'll go ahead. But if I can't get close this is a dead issue and I'll cut my losses. Unless one our vendors find an intrest in these. One will be in my car for sure.

[GLHSKEN]

In for 2

[CSXT802]

In for 2

Thanks.! Only 35 more to go.

[moparman76_69]

I'd be in for 1, any chance of getting a lesser quantity done for a slightly higher price?

The owner of the shop to said he needs 40 unit minium to tool up. So thats what I'm shooting for. If I fall short, I can ask him he would be willing to.
